Greater Clark board member to lead West Clark PR

Longtime Greater Clark County Schools educator and school board member Tony Hall was recently hired to coordinate communication and public relations for nearby West Clark Community Schools.

Hall, who has worked in West Clark’s information technology department since he retired from Greater Clark in 2012, began his new post earlier this month.

Since then, he has been working to expand the ways in which West Clark communicates with parents, staff and other community members. He has already established the district’s social media presence on Twitter, and he plans to create a district Facebook page and West Clark app.

Hall, 58, has been representing the Charlestown area on Greater Clark’s school board for three years, although Hall said holding a leadership position in one district and being employed by another hasn’t been much of an issue for him.

“I know I’m wearing two different hats, and as long as I’m doing the right thing at the right time, I have nothing to worry about,” he said.

As a matter of fact, he said, the various positions he’s held at both districts – math teacher, athletic director, basketball coach and IT worker – have informed his role as a school board member.

“And I’m sure it’s going to help my role as a communications coordinator,” he said.
